Because at the end of the day we're not all humans. We're males and females. There's a gap that we never acknowledge which is far worse than the more obvious oppression, because it leads to the oppression.
And I want to acknowledge that gap.
And I want others to acknowledge it.
Being girly is not just whimsical and weak, it's also being stupid and daft.
Everyone knows that being girly isn't a compliment.
I want it to at least stop being an insult.

I think its not just about being girly or manly. But if someone is too girly or manly, it is their choice to be like one. Hence, I think we are no one to judge. But least we should also have awareness about issues which people face, because being homophobic or being a voilent just by word or by actions or by thoughts or even being just a by-stander is almost a crime.

but you know there are always going to be norms in the society, so much atleast to tell apart what is abnormal. If today being girly is an insult tomorrow assuming we/you change it being a tom boy would be an insult. What then?

About

The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.

Shadow Liberation uses creatively crafted visual stories to captivate the imagination and invite audiences to interrupt the injustice of gender violence. In the tradition of Augusto Boal's Forum Theatre, audience members are invited on stage to offer improvisational interventions into scenes depicting oppression. This artistic dialogue offers no quick fix solutions but rather places faith in the emerging ethics of the community to creatively address the problem. We invite you to face the shadows through this remarkable work of participatory shadow theatre.
